Malaysian firms seeking to participate in building program

MALAYSIAN businesses are hoping to play a role in the government’s infrastructure program, the country’s Trade Minister Mustapa Mohamed said, with some firms already with their foot at the door in the airports segment.

“Some companies are interested… in the development in the new airport in Manila,” Mr. Mustapa, who heads the Ministry of International Trade and Industry, told reporters on the sidelines of the Malaysia Business Forum held Monday in Makati.

He said some Malaysian companies are planning their engagement, which is now “in progress.” He declined to indicate which projects have attracted their interest.
